IDEC IDEC-FT1A-C12RA-W

In modern automation, integrating machine logic and operator interface often means separate PLCs and HMIs—leading to increased cost, extra wiring and larger panels. The IDEC FT1A‑C12RA‑W solves this by combining both controller and display in a single compact device, significantly reducing system footprint. The 3.8″ colour touchscreen gives operators full visibility into machine states, alarms and I/O, while the PLC side handles logic, counters and communications. With embedded Ethernet and support for Modbus TCP/RTU, it links seamlessly into higher‑level SCADA or network architectures—eliminating the need for external gateways. The IP66f/NEMA 4X rating means it’s suitable for harsh industrial environments (wash‑down, dusty, semi‑outdoor) where conventional indoor‑rated units would fail. This integrated solution out‑performs typical setups by cutting hardware, wiring and engineering time. For OEMs, system integrators or maintenance teams upgrading machines, the FT1A‑C12RA‑W offers one device that meets both control and visualization needs—saving cost, space and complexity while maintaining high reliability and connectivity.
